				Zhao Gou (1107-1187)<br />
				Cursive script <br />
				Zhao Gou was the first emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty. In this scroll he<br />
				demonstrates his prowess at both regular and cursive forms.  It is a copy of a scroll by Yu Shinan, a master<br />
				calligrapher who worked in the Tang court.  During both the Northern and Southern Song, imitation of the Tang<br />
				masters was taught within the Academies.  The Thousand Characters has often been the subject of calligraphy.  It is<br />
					a primer for children written in the Liang Dynasty (502-556) and may be written with alternating scripts or in one form.<br />
					It's an excellent way for the calligrapher to demonstrate his or her skill and an excellent resource for the beginning<br />
				connoiseur to understand the relationship between different forms of calligraphy.  Focus in on pairs of characters<br />
				to see how the strokes are expressed in each.  <br />
